O you took my word and you took my key
You took my pride and you took my dignity
How can I still pretend to be what a man should be
Well, whatever I say is in a book
Whatever I do theres someone there to look
You just cant shake a man the way that Ive been shook
Now is this the way its supposed to be
Is this the way its supposed to be
A poisoned heart and a twisted memory (repeat)
O see that lifer doing his time
If I could have his place and hed have mine
Wed be no better off on either side of the line
Well, you took my job and you put me to sleep
You feed me money, you treat me like a creep
Wish I could get away but I must be in it too deep
Well, you tell me youre going to get in touch
You send me a letter that reads like double-Dutch
You say, youre bound to lose, youre a little such-and-such
You got my number, you got my rank
You drained my head, you drained my petrol tank
And when I die of shame I wont even know who to thank
